CT'HE  presetii  exhibition  confaijis  not  only  a  coin- 
J-     plete  sequence  of  Lord    Tennysofi^s  publicly 
issued  writings,  beginning  luith  the    '''^  Poems   by 
Two  Brothers,''^   1827,    and  endittg  with    "  The 
Death  of  CEnone"  i8g2,  but  also  very  many  of  the 
privately-issued  poems  whose  extreme  rarity  has 
rendered  them  the  despair  of  the  collector.     A  list 
of  them  here  may  not  be  out  of  place  for  the  pur- 
pose of  drawing  the  attention  of  visitors  to  this  ex- 
hibition to  the  bibliographical  gems,  the  existence 
of  which  has  in  tnafiy  cases  been  utiknown  to  R. 
H.  Shepherd  and  other  bibliographers  of  Tennyso?i: 

"  Morte  D' Arthur,"  1842. 

"  The  True  and  the  False,"  iS^q. 

"  The  Sailor  Boy,"  1S61. 

"  Idylls  of  the  Hearth,"  1864. 

"  The  Victim,"  iS&j. 

"  The  Window,"  lS&}. 

"  Lucretius,"  1S68. 

"  The  Last  Tournament,"  i8yi. 

"  The  Promise  o/May,"  1882. 

"  The  Silent  Voices,"  iSg2. 

It  is  to  be  regretted  that  no  copy  of  The  Lover's 
Tale,"  i8j3,  or  of  the  reissue  of  i86g-yo,  can  be 
shown.  But  both  these  issues  were  recalled  and 
rigorously  suppressed  by  the  author,  and  of  the  few 
copies  known,  none  is  believed  to  be  in  Ajnerica.

POEMS  BY  TWO  BROTHERS.  London, 
printed  for  W.  Simp}iin  and  R.  Marshall, 
Statioriers'- Hall- Court  J  and  J.  and  J.  Jackson, 
Louth,  1827. 

The  authors  were  Alfred  and  Charles  Tennyson,  and 
the  book,  which  was  published  in  12^  at  5s.  and  in  8°  at 
7s.,  has  become  increasingly  rare  of  late  years.  It  was  re- 
printed in  1893  (see  No.  59),  with  the  initials  of  the 
authors  attached  to  each  poem,  from  which  it  appears  that 
four  were  by  Frederick  Tennyson.  The  original  manu- 
script, it  is  understood,  is  owned  in  New  York  City.  For 
Charles  Tennyson,  see  also  Nos.  61  and  62,  and  for  Fred- 
erick Tennyson,  No.  63.

Chancellor's  medal  at  the  Cambridge  commencement, 
MDCCCXXIX,  by  A.  Tennyson,  of  Trinity  College." 
Shepherd  says,  in  his  "Bibliography"  (1896),  pp.  4,  5: 
"This  poem  was  reprinted  several  times,  in  smaller  size,

in  succeeding  years  in  the  collection  of  '  Cambridge  Prize 
Poems."  In  all  these  successive  reprints  '  ravish'd  sense  ' 
[line  9  of  p.  12]  is  misprinted  '  lavish' d  sense  '  ;  the  correct 
reading  is  only  to  be  found  in  the  first  edition,  as  it  ap- 
peared in  the  Prolusiones.  The  poem  was  never  reprinted 
by  the  author ;  but  three  or  four  scattered  lines  of  it  appear 
in  the  '  Ode  to  Memory  '  (1830)  and  in  '  The  Lover's  Tale ' 
(1833)."  It  was  reprinted  in  the  1893  reprint  of  "  Poems 
by  Two  Brothers"  (No.  59).  Shepherd  tells  us  also  that 
the  Atheticeiwi,  then  edited  by  John  Sterhng  and  Frederick 
Denison  Maurice,  "had  the  courage  and  the  foresight  to 
sound  a  trumpet-note  of  praise,  heralding  the  advent  of  a 
new  poet."  Arthur  Hallam  was  one  of  the  unsuccessful 
competitors  for  the  prize  won  by  Tennyson. 


P 


OEMS,  Chiefly  Lyrical.     London,  Ef- 
fingham IVi/son,  1830. 

This  first  volume  of  poems  published  by  Tennyson 
under  his  name  is  now  rare.  "It  had  originally  been  in- 
tended to  publish  these  poems  conjointly  with  those  of 
Arthur  Hallam  ;  but  by  the  advice  of  Hallam's  father  the 
contributions  of  the  latter  were  withdrawn,  and  issued, 
separately  and  anonymously,  for  private  circulation  only. 
.  .  .  Tennyson's  maiden  volume  attracted  considerable 
attention  from  the  leading  Reviews  of  the  period.  .  .  . 
Many  of  the  poems  in  this  volume  were  rejected  and 
omitted  from  subsequent  editions  of  Tennyson's  Minor 
Poems.  Some  of  these,  however,  were  restored  or  rein- 
stated in  the  later  collected  editions  of  his  complete  works. 
Very  few  of  the  poems  were  materially,  or  otherwise  than 
verbally,  altered."— Shepherd,  "  Bibliography,"  pp.  6,7,  8. 


4  T^HE  GEM:  A  Literary  Annual.      Lon- 
J-    don,  JV.  Marshall,  1831. 

Contains  three  poems  by  Tennyson  not  included  by  him 
in  any  of  his  subsequent  volumes,  viz.,  "No  More," 
"Anacreontics,"  and  "A  Fragment."  These  were  re- 
printed with  a  monograph  by  R.  H.  Shepherd,  in  "  The 
Lover's  Tale  and  Other  Poems,  now  first  collected,"  a  small 
volume  issued  for  private  circulation,  in  1875,  in  an  edition 
of  50  copies,  and  suppressed  at  the  poet's  instigation  by  a 
decree  of  the  Court  of  Chancery,  so  that  it  is  now  difficult 
to  find.

6  Ditto^  bound  by  Cobden-Sanderson. 

Rarer  even  than  the  1830  volume.  Severely  attacked  in 
\h&  Quarterly  Heview  of  July,  1833,  in  a  "strain  of  ironical 
praise."  Accordingto  Shepherd  ("  Bibliography,"  pp.  11, 
12),  "  many  of  the  poems  were  omitted  altogether  in  later 
editions  and  never  restored  or  reinstated,  and  of  those  re- 
tained, some  of  the  longer  and  more  important  .  .  .  were 
either  re-written  or  considerably  altered  on  their  reappear- 
ance in  1842."

A     2  vols. 

Vol.  \.  is  made  up  mainly  of  selections  from  the  "  Poems  " 
of  1830  and  1833  ;  the  second  volume,  with  the  exception  of 
"The  Sleeping  Beauty"  and  "St.  Agnes,"  consists  of 
poems  previously  unpublished.

"A  second,  third,  and  fourth  edition  of  the  Poems  in 
two  volumes,  with  some  alterations  and  additions,  and 
with  the  omission  of  a  note  to  the  second  volume  and  of 
the  date  (1833)  originally  appended  to  the  poem  of  '  The 
Two  Voices,'  appeared  in  1843,  1845,  and  1846  respec- 
tively. They  are  of  considerably  less  rarity  than  the  first 
issue." — Shepherd,  "Bibliography"  (1896),  p.  18.  The 
fifth  edition  appeared  in  1848,  the  sixth  in  1850,  seventh  in 
1851,  eighth  in  1853. 

13  T^HE  PRINCESS;   A  Medley.      London,

14  TN  MEMORIAM.    'London, Edward Moxoti,

Tennyson's  name  does  not  appear  in  this  book  ( "  In  me- 
moriam  A.  H.  H.  obit  1833  "  is  inscribed  on  the  fly-leaf), 
which  appears  to  have  been  written  between  September 
1833  (the  month  of  Arthur  Hallam's  death)  and  1836,  the 
Epithalamiura  being  written  in  1842,  and  the  introductory 
lines  in  1849.  The  second  and  third  editions  appeared  in 
the  same  year,  the  fourth  in  1851.

18  /^DE  ON  THE  Death  of  the  Duke  of 
vy  Wellington.  A  new  edition.  London, 
Edward  Moxon ,  1853. 

Text  in  this  edition  is  thoroughly  revised,  various  lines 
in  the  first  edition  being  omitted,  others  added,  and  other 
changes  made.  Shepherd's  description  ("Bibliography," 
1896,  p.  27)  is  inadequate. 


M 


AUD,  and  Other  Poems.     London,  Ed- 
ward Moxon,  1855. 

Among  the  poems  in  this  volume  is  the  famous  "  Charge 
of  the  Light  Brigade,"  which  first  appeared  in  the  Exam- 
iner of  Dec.  9th,  1854.  Shepherd,  speaking  of  this  first, 
Examiner,  version,  says:  "It  differs  materially  in  text 
from  all  the  later  versions,"  but  tells  us  also  that  the  poem 
in  the  present  volume  was  reprinted  from  the  Examiner. 
He  likewise  catalogues  a  four-page  quarto  sheet,  of  which 
a  thousand  copies  were  privately  printed  for  distribution 
among  the  soldiers  before  Sebastopol.  This  sheet  is  now 
extremely  rare ;  there  is  a  copy  in  the  British  Museum. 
A  new  edition  of  "  Maud,  and  other  poems  "  appeared  in 
1856.

field,  and  D.  Maclise.  Ruskin  speaks  of  these  illustrations 
in  the  Appendix  to  his  "  Elements  of  Drawing"  (London, 
1857).  It  appears  that  shortly  after  the  appearance  of  the 
book,  Edward  Moxon,  the  publisher,  died,  and  the  re- 
mainder of  the  edition  was  transferred  to  Routledge,  who 
issued  it  in  a  cheaper  form.  The  earlier  edition  is  the 
one  to  secure.

21  n^HE  TRUE  AND  THE  FALSE:    Four 
A    Idylls  of  the  King.     London,  Edward 
Moxon  b'  Co.,  1859. 

Not  mentioned  by  Shepherd.  Says  the  owner:  "  Only 
one  other  volume  with  the  same  title  is  known.  This  is  in 
the  South  Kensington  Museum.  It  differs  however,  in 
that  the  second  Idyll  has  its  title  changed  from  '  Nimue '  to 
'Vivien.'  The  present  copy,  therefore,  is  unique.  On 
the  issue  of  the  first  edition  to  the  public  the  title  of  the 
book  was  changed  to  '  The  Idylls  of  the  King.'  " 

Contains  the  idylls  of  Enid,  Nimue,  Elaine,  and  Guine- 
vere, the  first  two  of  which  had  been  privately  printed  in 
1857,  under  the  title  "  Enid  and  Nimue;  or.  The  True  and 
False."  Of  this  1857  volume  6  copies  were  printed,  the 
sole  survivor  being  in  the  British  Museum.  The  name 
Nimue,  still  retained  in  the  present  (1859)  volume,  is 
changed,  for  the  sake  of  euphony,  to  Vivien,  in  the  edition 
of  the  Idylls  published  in  the  same  year  (see  next  entry, 
No.  22),  and  there  are  other  variations. 

"  Enid  and  Nimue"  is  described  on  p.  224  of  "  Literary 
Anecdotes  of  the  19th  Century,"  vol  2. 


22  IDYLLS  OF  THE  KING.      London,  Ed^ 
^  ward  Moxon  ^  Co.,  1859. 

See  notes  after  preceding  entry. 

Shepherd  tells  us  ("  BibHography"  1896,  p.  36):  "For 
the  story  of  '  Enid '  Tennyson  was  largely  indebted  to 
Lady  Charlotte  Guest's  translation  of  the  Welsh  '  Mabi- 
nogion,'  the  details,  names,  and  even  words,  being  closely 
followed  and  reproduced." 


23  T^HE    SAILOR    BOY.       London,   Emily 
A    Faithfull  df  Co.,  i%6i.     "  25  copies  for  the 
author's  use." 

Not  mentioned  in  Shepherd's  "Bibliography"  (1896). 
"One  of  the  very  rarest  of  Tennyson's  books,"  says  the 
owner.

A    original  contributions  in  poetry  and

Contains  "  The  Sailor  Boy,"  reprinted,  with  some  shght 
alterations,  in  "Enoch  Arden,  etc.,"  1864  (No.  29). 


25  pOEMS.  MDCCCXXX.  MDCCCXXXIII. 
-^     Privately  printed,  1862. 

A  partial  reprint,  probably  issued  by  J.  C.  Hotten,  of 
"Poems,  chiefly  Lyrical"  (1830)  and  "Poems"  (1833). 
It  is  believed  there  is  also  a  Canadian  reprint.  Shep- 
herd does  not  give  this  title,  but  lists,  under  the  same  date, 
"  Suppressed  Poems  of  Tennyson.  A  pamphlet  privately 
printed  under  the  supervision  of  J.  D.  Campbell,  1862.  ' 
He  cites  also  the  case  of  "Tennyson  v.  Hotten"  (1862), 
containing  an  order  of  the  Court  of  Chancery  for  the  sup- 
pression of  an  unauthonzed  reprint  of  poems  by  Tennyson, 
and  adds:  "  I  never  saw  a  copy  of  the  book,  and  do  not 
know  its  contents." 


26    A    WELCOME.     London,  Edward  Moxon 
^  &>  Co.,  1863. 

Addressed  to  the  Princess  Alexandra  of  Denmark,  on 
her  arrival  in  England  and  her  marriage  with  the  Prince 
of  Wales.  Reprinted,  with  considerable  alterations  and 
additions,  in  "  Enoch  Arden,  etc.,"  1864  (No.  29).

Shepherd.

28  TDYLLS    OF  THE  HEARTH.     London, 
i-  Echvard  Moxon  &"  Co.,  1864. 

ShepherdC  Bibliography",  1896,  p.  39),  says:  "This 
is  the  same  as  the  regular  (following)  edition  of  'Enoch 
Arden,'  but  with  a  different  title-page."  However,  "  Enoch 
Arden,  etc."  (1864),  to  which  Shepherd  here  refers,  con- 
tains "A  Welcome  to  Alexandra,"  which  is  wanting  in 
"  Idylls  of  the  Hearth."  The  present  copy  is  printed  on 
proof  paper,  numbered  "  IV  "  in  ink  at  the  head  of  the 
title-page  (probably  indicating  the  fourth  proof ),  and  bears 
the  author's  manuscript  corrections  throughout.  The  title 
of  the  various  trial  copies  was  finally  changed  to  "  Enoch 
Arden,  etc.,"  on  the  issue  of  the  first  edition.  Various 
such  instances  of  Tennyson's  careful  manner  of  working 
may  be  found;  Shepherd  speaks  of  it  on  p.  16  of  his 
"Bibliography",  with  respect  to  "In  Memoriam"  and 
"  Maud  "  (pp.  18  and  21),  and  Hallam  Tennyson,  in  the 
new  biography,  referring  to  "  Aylmer's  Field,"  says  :  "  He 
often  pointed  out  how  hard  he  had  found  such  and  such  a 
passage,  how  much  work  and  thought  it  had  cost  him." 
On  the  other  hand,  it  seems  worthy  of  note  that  "  Cross- 
ing the  Bar,"  in  the  poet's  words,  "  came  in  a  moment."

32  T^HE  WINDOW:    or,  The  Loves  of  the 
A    Wrens.     Can/ord  Manor,  1867. 

Printed  at  the  private  press  of  Sir  Ivor  Bertie  Guest, 
Exceedingly  rare,  the  edition  having  been  very  small.  It 
is  stated  that  the  signs  ==,  $,  \,  7,  which  appear  before 
the  date  on  the  title-page  of  both  this  and  "  The  Victim" 
are  the  private  marks  of  the  amateur  compositors,  viz.: 
Lord  Wimborne,  Lady  Layard,  Lady  C.  Schreiber,  and 
Mrs.  E.  Ponsonby.  The  text  differs  considerably  from 
that  of  the  edition  issued  in  1871  with  Arthur  Sullivan's 
music  (see  No.  37).

Appeared  originally  in  Macmillan  s  Magazine,  and  in 
Every  Saturday  {^o%\.or\) ;  the  latter  version  containing  a 
passage  describing  the  Oread,  which  was  cancelled  in  the 
English  edition,  and  showing  also  two  other  variations 
evidently  based  on  error.  See  prefatory  "  Note,"  signed 
by  J.  T.  F.  [i.e.,  James  T.  Fields).  This  edition  is  not
